Well.. i get a BAZZILLION PM's asking how i routed my IC piping.. and i always respond "Ill get pictures"; so here they are for EVERYONE...

If you need me to explain what it is that you are looking at, then i will, otherwise, they should all be self explanitory.

Enjoy...

BTW - these are in no sort of order... anndd Dont mind the rust, the car has been sitting for a while, ittl be taken care of soon

(those tools were not setup like that on purpose... seriously)

-----

Well, i hope this helps some people out when it comes to running C piping.. i wish there woulda been something like this around when i did mine

cool thanks man...not gonna help me, but i'm sure it'll help others. lol

good work.

 

[88hondapreludesi]

lol not bad pics but theyd prolly be allot more helpful with a lil more explanation

 

[rudeludenotmeanthough]

Yea... haha.. I was DEAD when i posted.. i had just got of work. Ill explain later.

 

[11_dreams]

i was lost until i saw the front picture of the intercooler
then it gets pretty self explanitory
doesnt need much more definition

 

[LudaPower]

Sooo... you destroyed most of the bumper support for tubes?

 

[88hondapreludesi]

ya that was pretty much what I needed more explanation is did he just hack and slash through everything or is there some holes already there

 

[rudeludenotmeanthough]

Ok..

THe hole from on the driverside going DOWN into the Fender well was already there..

Yes, i did need to hack alot..

-1/2 the Bumper
-th3 back of the pumper
-1/2 the bumper support
-made larger notches (where the Horns are in the Dender well
-Made a hole to bring the IC piping up (underneath where the Batt tray used to be)

Need any more specifics? im still really tired.

in order to get any decent fmic you do have to cut a decent sized chunk out of the back of the bumper to fit the intercooler. In any case when you go turbo and install your fmic all you can ever do after that is cut as little as possible and be extra watchful for @$$bags that have no respect for the road and could destroy your investment with on-road antics

what is fmic?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[preludeToPower]

Front Mount InterCooler

 

[sleepyH22]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoh ok, i wasn't sure because the pics are a bit deceiving.

 

[rudeludenotmeanthough]

how?

 

[Lude4ever]

hey Rude...those pics are awesome!! just what i was looking for...

i was trying to figure out if there was enough room to turn the charge pipes right around the edges of the radiator (without going into the fenders)... it might be possible.

looks like a nice install...i am just afraid of ruining my bumper...

You have a 88-89.. then you wont have to hack your bumper to shit... if at all

I have a 88-89 as well.. ill snap pics to help you see where you would want to mount your ic

[RED89si]
